Very nice local place. Food portions are large and you tend to get value for money. It can be a bit noisy as it is a local and many guests come for regular meetings with friends and also watch a sports event on the tv. I can recommend this as an alternative to the usual places in Zug.

I have eaten here a number of times and have always enjoyed the food. The restaurant is not stylish or trendy, but can deliver a decent plate of food. I would recommend trying the steak cooked on a hot stone, it's a decent meal. Combine it with a decent Swiss beer or Weisbeer and you have a very decent meal.... More

Rustic environment, borderline "kitsch". Very (very) slow service, strong grilled meat smell throughout the dining rooms. Friendly but not ver professional Swiss staff, but food is OK. Nothing particularly special, but not bad. Will I go back? Most probably not!~ About 35 CHF per person for one dish and one drink

Restaurant Baren is nice, the food is not very special but they have interesting themes and often have live music which can be quite loud therefore it is not the place to go and have a good talk. But it is a nice experience....

Our party did not speak German and were a bit hindered as the menu was only printed in German. Although the server did not speak English, she asked the chef to come to our table to translate the menu. Between the eight of us, we tried almost everything on the daily lunch menu, all of which was excellent. Highly recommend... More

This is a quite authentic Swiss place. It is usually crowded, a bit noisy but the food is excellent. We had the entrecote on hot stone and enjoyed the whole experience, but apparently Restaurant Baeren is better known for their cordon bleu. Two negative points: First, they are not open at all on weekends. Second, don't ever wear your best... More
